I don't like the vocals in that at all... After 2:30ish it sounds decentish.
I think this one fit the tone of the song better for what it represents

spoilers etc
someone should edit this so at the end it's just Bran being wheeled into the council

I finished season one, it picked up halfway through for me. I regret not watching the show earlier and being part of the shared experience, but at least I do have the advantage of knowing it will end in shit
I think I was put off the show by associations with LOTR which I've never really been into. GOT is a lot more appealing to me so far
Anyway I already know a lot of the major things that happen in the show but there are still entire seasons where I don't really know shit.
Here is my current idea of what happens in the show based on half-remembered spoilers:
Season 2: Don't know what happens.
Season 3: Red Wedding happens in ep 9? Rob Stark and his mum and wife die. Idk who his wife is though, I guess it must be Filch from Harry Potter's daughter? Or not
Season 4: Someone told me there is a "Purple Wedding" at some point but I don't know wtf that is so let's say it happens here. I think/hope Joffrey dies around this point
Season 5 or 6: Jon Snow dies at the end of a season, then the show goes off-book and he un-dies. Winter comes?? (What does this mean)
Season 7: Show goes downhill. I think at the end of the season Dany is on a boat and leads her army somewhere.
Season 8: Arya drops a knife but catches it and jams it into an icyboi, it's a bit of an anticlimax. Dany drops a nuke on King's Landing because she had Airpods in and couldn't hear the bells
It's Westeros-Mart's Winter sale. Fur coats 50% off.
Rewatching some of the scenes from the early seasons and it's actually so jarring compared to the last few. There were slow scenes where characters talked with well written, interesting dialogue. The scenes between Arya and Tywin for example. It's a shame how it ended but the first 4 season were fantastic. 5-6 were pretty good too.
I was pretty much in the same boat when I started watching the series last year. In hindsight, I wish I could have watched the series completely ignorant of plot details and major deaths. There were still some great "Holy shit!" moments, but for some it was just like "So, I wonder when this happens"
For what it's worth, I'm in a similar position, except I watched the show after Season 7 instead of at the very end; setting aside the dumpster fire ending, knowing spoilers won't kill too much enjoyment if you are like me. GoT is just is much about the journey as it is the destination.
Because they could just adapt the good dialogue and character moments from the books, the second they lost the source material they just relied on the fact that they had unlimited budget and padded the show out with fight scenes and cgi battles.

"War crimes are good" is a stunningly bad take but here we go.
Game of Thrones series finale
I thought the ending was fine. It could've used 2 or 3 more episodes so it didn't feel like a knee jerk 180, even though what happens was foreshadowed all the way back to Season 2
The ending was not fine.
Dany dying was fine, and foreshadowed since Season 2. Literally nothing else that happened in the ending made sense.
so this is what serj is up to when he's no squabbling with the other soad band members

This guy has made a bunch of these, there's one for Jorah that had me crying into my damn lunch as I watched it at wor, but Sandor was by far my favorite character on the show so there
Yeah, this wasn't a gradual career progression and I hope he gets himself fixed up.
Vox, The Guard and Vice are basically neck in neck with vomiting out pretentious, banal, god awful opinion pieces.
I'm looking for a specific image--does anyone have the one of a Godzilla-sized Bobby B. towering over King's Landing, possibly shooting eye lasers?
no, but i can offer you this NSFW abomination:
gods, i was strong then
CAREFUL NED, CAREFUL NOW
God bless Bobby B, and his great big tits that you could just bury your face in 🤤
I'm not sure if you still need this but GODS I WAS LARGE THEN

Shout out to all my boys who've been sitting here for days, waiting for the bloody joust to start before they piss themselves.
when all is lost but memes, the memes are GOOD
though some quality lore discussion is finally returning to /r/asoiaf
The memes have easily been the most satisfying part of the season 8 experience and they've kept me sane in these dark times.
We'll see another reboot of Game of Thrones once the books are finished.
I hardly think that's necessary when most of what we got is still great tv, its only really the last couple series where things fell apart. Also bearing in mind most of the actors will need to be recast as they'll most likely be a bit too old when the books are finished.
I'd rather animators create a better ending, before we get more books, and acquire the main actors for voices.
I think there's a chance that one day ASOIAF could be re-adapted. Most likely as an animated series - it's not unheard of to have a fantasy series adapted into both a live action and an animated property.
It would still be a massive time investment that probably wouldn't be worthwhile until decades after the book series has a proper conclusion - but it'd probably work out better, imo, and tracking down the OG cast members wouldn't be the biggest deal ever, because lets be honest: the show didn't have amazing casting, especially in the later seasons.
